It will keep up with a belt sander or do fine polishing.

I quit using a belt sander about 25 years ago.


I wasn't trying to help push the addiction... but the first thing I did
when I saw this thread was type in "Festool Belt Sander". Apparently,
they
did make one but not for the American market.

LOL. The first thing *I* did was search for a Festool *belt* sander. If I
*could* buy one I'm convinced I *would* buy one.
Some folks are uncomfortable using a belt sander but I find them very
useful.
No one in El Paso sells Festool and I would like to get my hands on a Rotex
before I commit. I'm just not sure it would be aggressive enough.

I wonder if they even _sell_ 32-grit boulder paper for them thangs.

In any case, a planah is what you need, not a belt sandah.
